Directed and Edited by John Walter Produced and Photographed by Andrew Moore USA, 2002 90 Minutes Filmsource Information A RASHOMON-like portrait of Ray Johnson whose life and death -- and all the art that came in between - made him “New York’s most famous unknown artist” (Grace Glueck, NY Times). Johnson, an enigmatic, whimsical latter-day Dadaist, collagist extraordinaire, and the father of mail art, amused and astounded his who’s-who-in-the-art-world list of friends. HOW TO DRAW A BUNNY fashions a biographical mystery tale from fascinating, often hilarious stories told by Johnson’s contemporaries, including Christo, Chuck Close, Roy Lichtenstein, Judith Malina, Richard Feigen, James Rosenquist, and the Sag Harbor detective who investigated his mysterious 1995 death. With original music written and performed by Max Roach. A Ray Johnson exhibit opens September 26 at Feigen Contemporary, 535 West 20 Street, New York City.
